"This eldest sister, you gave me another red envelope, and the eldest brother-in-law had to be embarrassed to post another red envelope, so don't break the bank!"

Su Qingyao said embarrassedly.

Qingluo looked at Su Qingyao, who was trying to excuse herself, and her face was full of joy, and said speechlessly:

"What do you think? Is this your eldest brother-in-law's bag for me? It's enough for you to have two. ”

Su Qingyao scratched her head and smirked, "Oh, yes? That's good! The eldest sister is so good to the eldest sister, what a love! ”

Qingluo slowly untied the red envelope and took out two silver tickets with a denomination of ten taels from inside.

At this time, Su Qingyao also opened the red envelope given to her by Qingluo and Gu Jingzhi, not a silver ticket, but a silver horn, which added up to about two or three taels.

That's quite a lot!

Su Qingyao knew these broken silver when she touched it just now, and then she heard Qingluo's voice showing off lightly:

"This money is your eldest brother-in-law who goes down the mountain to buy things on weekdays, and I give him some money, and sometimes some leftovers.

I said that he used it himself, and sometimes he could buy something or meet someone in the town who could give them a drink and a cup of tea.

As a result, your eldest brother-in-law saved it, and the one who buckled the rope was either to sell me some gadgets, or to save it and exchange it for a silver ticket.

I really didn't expect it~"

Under Su Qingyao's eyes that gradually faded from his smile, Qingluo turned his head, looked at Gu Jingzhi, and asked in a clear voice:

"Ah Jing, how much money do you have left?"

Gu Jingzhi immediately took out the purse from his arms, opened it and poured it out, and saw that there were only a few copper plates, and there was very little money, even if it was a small piece of broken silver.

"Then it seems that if you go to Baiyun Town again, you will have to add some more silver, and you don't have to buy all of them for me or directly, but also keep some for myself.

After all, sometimes there are so many acquaintances in Baiyun Town, so you still have to bring some silver. ”

"I'll take as much as Arlo gives, if it's not enough, I'll go hunting, don't worry that I don't have any money.

But if I don't have enough money at home, Arlo told me not to save it on weekdays. ”

Gu Jingzhi still didn't feel at ease.

Qingluo's voice should be sweet "good~"

Su Qingyao turned around expressionlessly, and carefully put the two red envelopes into her pocket.

I took the red envelope you gave me, eldest sister, eldest brother-in-law.

At the same time, I also did the bowl of dog food sent by your husband and wife.

Well, it smells so good!

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, lunch and dinner are equally sumptuous, with a table of delicacies and jade food, and the house is full of the fragrant fragrance of a piece of food.

This is not freshly burned, Qingluo is dressed in luxurious and bright clothes, and his hair is combed into a delicate bun, which is not suitable for cooking.

Gu Jingzhi is rare to wear today.

Su Qingyao, with the help of Qingluo, is even more rare to pull a bun today.

Put on the small pink flower cloth that Baiyun Town pulled before, and ask the embroidery girl of Buzhuang to make the collared skirt that she wears most easily.

At the beginning, I didn't have time to wear it in Baiyun Town, and at this time, I just made new clothes for the New Year.

The Chinese New Year's Eve meal is divided into several portions, one is made on the same day as the Chinese New Year's Eve meal, and the rest is placed in the cupboard, just on the first day of the new year, the second day of the new year is taken out and steamed directly.

At most, stir-fry and make a small dish.

This is all done by Gu Jingzhi or Su Qingyao.

Then on the third day of the Lunar New Year, Su Qingyao stayed in the cave, and Qingluo and Gu Jingzhi went down the mountain with baskets.

Halfway up the mountain, only a quarter of an hour away from the sea of flowers, it is the place where Gu Jingzhi's adoptive parents are buried.

It was in a quiet valley.

The wind blew cold, and it was at a slightly protruding cave junction, but there was not much frost.

Qingluo looked at the two stone tablets.

Gu Jingzhi squatted down and pulled out the weeds that came out of his head, because he had just come here to worship some time ago, and he quickly cleaned them up.

Qingluo stood aside, waiting with a respectful expression.

Gu Jingzhi took out the fire fold from the bamboo basket, lit the candle and incense together, and a stream of cigarettes spread out.

Surrounded by jungle trees and snow-capped trees, the scenery is bleak and deserted.

Gu Jingzhi and Qingluo bent down and bowed respectfully three times.

"Daddy, let's come to see you."

Gu Jingzhi's expression was calm, and he said in a faint voice.

Qingluo carefully felt Gu Jingzhi's emotions at this time, only as warm as water.

She took another step forward, and the blessed body bowed again, her tone respectful, "Daddy, this is the second time my daughter-in-law has come to worship you, my husband and I are very good, and we will be fine in the future!" ”

People have been dying like lights going out for more than ten years, and she doesn't know what happens after death.

At the beginning, she was still a little conscious after she died, and then she crossed over, but she didn't know how others were.

When people are worshipping, it is already a process to speak to the deceased elders.

Qingluo didn't know what to say, so he said what was in his heart.

Gu Jingzhi kept his head sideways, and the two glanced at each other with soft eyes.

The candles and cigarettes were not burned out, the offerings were still there, and of course all the paper money was burned out, and the ashes on the ground, the cold wind blew and scattered.

Gu Jingzhi turned sideways to Qingluo to block the cold wind with smoke and choked his nose, and said softly: "Go back." ”

Qingluo nodded, shook his head at Gu Jingzhi's outstretched hand, refused him to leave with him, put his hand on him, and the two slowly left hand in hand.

After walking out of the valley, Gu Jingzhi walked to Qingluo's side and squatted down, Qingluo did not refuse, and leaned up, carrying an empty basket in his hand.

Approaching the bamboo forest, passing through the bamboo forest, and then passing a small plain will lead to the cave.

At this time, Gu Jingzhi suddenly said: "Ah Luo called me again in front of the tomb of my father and mother." ”

Qingluo rubbed his head on the back of Gu Jingzhi's head, and laughed softly, making it even more ethereal in the empty snow-capped mountains around him.

The delicate voice called softly: "Husband~ Husband, husband!" ”

She couldn't help laughing when she shouted, and Gu Jingzhi also laughed in a low voice.

Immediately, Qingluo heard Gu Jingzhi's aggrieved voice again, "Ah Luo said that sometimes he is called husband, but now you are calling for the first time!" ”

Qingluo gently bumped Gu Jingzhi's head with his head, "Then what did you forget to call me?" ”

Gu Jingzhi was silent for a moment, and his voice was clearer and gentler, "Lady." ”

After the third day of the Lunar New Year, the dishes in the cabinet are finished, and the last dumplings and rice cakes are taken out to eat, which has a unique taste.

These days, I eat too much meat and vegetables, and I feel full of oil and water when I eat big fish and meat every day, and I put some green vegetables in the dumplings, which is refreshing and appetizing.

On this day, Gu Jingzhi put down the empty bowl on the table, thought of something, and looked at Su Qingyao.

Su Qingyao was a little nervous by Gu Jingzhi, and her eyes for help were sent towards Qingluo.

Qingluo looked at Gu Jingzhi, probably about something about Su Qingyao.

"The last time I went to Baiyun Town, I was stopped by a group of people, and it was the He family who forced you to marry.

After a few days you go down the mountain, you have to pay attention to whether they will come to the door again. ”

Su Qingyao felt the salty and fresh taste in her mouth, and she wanted to add a few more dumplings, but at this moment, she felt that her mouth was full of bitterness.

She wept and mourned, hung her head, and said nothing.

"It's been so long, how did you tell us? Why didn't you say it that day? Qingluo asked Gu Jingzhi.

Gu Jingzhi suddenly thought of the promise that he couldn't hide anything from Qingluo, and hurriedly explained:

"Those people stopped me, but they didn't have much power, and then I was arrested and brought back to prison.

I remember wanting to tell Arlo, but I just came back and listened to you say how busy you were for the New Year, and I was worried that it would make you unhappy if you said it.

I thought about it for a while, and then I forgot about it after I didn't say it, and now I just remembered it and hurriedly said it! ”
